When I read some negative comments, before I started watching the drama, I imagined it to be much worse than it is.
The script has many flaws in the coherence of the narrative. The characters are not well built and, in many moments, the story is tiring. The first female protagonist alternates between annoying, stubborn, naive and of dubious intelligence. The second female lead is smarter and more interesting. The first and second male protagonists are cute, however, for the first protagonist, the character is weak, as he is easily deceived and does not suspect the traps set by people close to him. The emperor's character is manipulated all the time, lacking intelligence but much authoritary. The villains are unbearable, everyone wants to kill the protagonist, but the foundations are shallow and, when defeated, they take action to redeem themselves and accept their fate with resignation because they know they made a mistake.
The manipulative uncle who had so much information, never sought the truth about the mother? How does a writer, and also a director, make a scene as nonsensical as the lightning bolt? What is the logic of a poison, which has no antidote, not causing harm? If the protective mesh was the protection, why the blood from the wound?
The cast performed satisfactorily within what the characters required, as composing such poorly written characters is heroic work.
The steering slipped at the start and went downhill towards the end. The mistakes are countless, both in editing and in the creation of scenes. The notion of time is quite impaired. The ending isn't even bad, but it focused only on the protagonist couple. Art allows writers and directors to create the impossible, but when the characters do not belong to the fantastic world (gods, demons or immortals), it is necessary to have logic and respect the limits of physics and biology.
The costume is appropriate and beautiful.
The soundtrack is pleasant.
